>> Billabong announced that it was acquiring RVCA for an undisclosed amount last week, and now it sounds like Erin Wasson x RVCA wasn't part of the deal. Fashionista reports that Wasson's contract with RVCA has ended and was not renewed.

A source within the company says RVCA dropped Wasson's line because her team was difficult to work with. “Total chaos and the epitome of unorganized,” the source added. Whether Wasson's less-than-well-received Fall 2010 collection will be her last, or whether there will be one more could not be confirmed. Wasson's rep had "no comment" on the matter.

In celebration of its new web presence, denim guru True Religion has put together a provocative new film that's not to be missed. Erin Wasson and Tommy Dunn reinvent sexy in their blue jeans, plaid, and leather. Here's what True Religion wants you to experience — warning: it's hot as hell — flirty rock 'n' roll music, shirtless Erin, a rugged motorcycle, sultry eye contact, steamy poses.

>> Maryna Linchuk to Appear in Sofia Coppola's Somewhere — Maryna Linchuk worked with Sofia Coppola on a Dior commercial two years ago, so it's no surprise to hear that along with Erin Wasson, she'll be making an appearance in Coppola's upcoming film Somewhere. Maryna was snapped on set by Sofia's niece Gia, left, and recently told Russian Tatler of the gig [Ed. note: translated from Russian]: "I appear in the movie for just a few minutes only to seduce the main character. Right now I’m a model. It’s difficult to combine several activities and do both of them professionally." [Fashin, No Respective, TFS]

>> Erin Wasson Wants to Style Britney Spears —Erin Wasson aims to create a whole "lifestyle niche" — "I'm focusing on my Low Luv jewelry line right now and doing more accessories" — but before full-out designing, she tried her hand at styling.  Currently, she says the person she would most like to style is Britney Spears: "I'd love to pull out her hair extensions and fake lashes and get her in her own skin for once—something raw and beautiful. Call me up, Britney." [Teen Vogue]

>> New York Fashion Week Tidbits: Rodarte, Alexander Wang Working with Nick Knight on Films, and more —Alexander Wang and Laura and Kate Mulleavy must have liked the video of Raquel Zimmermann writhing among snakes that Nick Knight produced for the backdrop of Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 show: Knight is said to be working with both Wang and Rodarte on fashion films for their upcoming shows. Erin Wasson, meanwhile, is said to be inspired by Jimi Hendrix for her upcoming RVCA collection, and Cushnie et Ochs are collaborating with Albertus Swanepoel on hats for Fall 2010.

>> Erin Wasson never has a problem finding something to say — she recently told the Independent UK of her day job: "I've always been a girl with a massive opinion. I want to be in the know. Your typical model maybe shows up and is happy to be manipulated and is happy to ask no questions, and I'm quite the opposite. I'm really particular about wanting to know the essence and spirit of a situation that I'm in."

Perhaps that particularity and distinct point of view is part of what lead her to start designing in collaboration with RVCA.  Last season, she went big, showing the collection at New York Fashion Week's Bryant Park Tents, but for Fall 2010, it sounds like she's going for an off-site location.  Style.com reports: "We hear Erin Wasson is trading in the Tents for Fall '10 in favor of an ethnic-rug catwalk at ABC Home. Still planning live band though.."
